To present two cases of placenta percreta which were treated with conservative management in our clinic. Two cases of retained placenta percreta are presented. Treatment was failed in the first case because of haemorrhage. The second one was treated successfully with the procedures which consisted of caesarean section with midline abdominal and classic incision in the uterine fundus, internal i...

Placenta percreta is a rare pregnancy disorder in which the placenta penetrates the uterine myometrium and can invade surrounding organs. Because the rate of cesarean sections is increasing in developed countries, the incidence of placenta percreta is also rising. This condition significantly increases the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, and is currently the most common indi...

Background. Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is increasing in incidence and is commonly associated with maternal hemorrhage and cesarean hysterectomy. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) may be utilized in the conservative management of placenta percreta to potentially reduce blood loss. The incidence of complications from UAE in the conservative management of placenta percreta is poorly describe...

Placenta percreta is a rare complication potentially fatal to fetus and the mother. We present here a 41-year-old female patient who underwent curettage for incomplete abortion at 6(th) week of pregnancy. She had persistent vaginal bleeding for 2 months after the curettage, for which she was treated with hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made the di...

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE, also known as anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy) at the time of surgery for placenta percreta has been previously reported. We report here a case in which AFE and associated cardiac arrest occurred following a hysterectomy for placenta percreta. In this case, subhepatic manual aortic compression during the cardiac arrest and chest compressions followed by infrare...

BACKGROUND To report a placenta percreta in a 7-week gestational rudimentary noncommunicating uterine horn pregnancy. METHODS A 28-year-old woman with no complaints presented with a rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy at 7-weeks gestation. The diagnosis was suspected by ultrasonography and diagnosed by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic excision of the rudimentary uterine horn and ipsilateral salpingec...

INTRODUCTION Placenta percreta is an obstetric emergency often associated with massive hemorrhage and emergency hysterectomy. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 30-year-old African woman, gravida 7, para 5, with placenta percreta managed by an alternative approach: the placenta was left in situ, methotrexate was administered, and a delayed hysterectomy was successfully performed. CO...

BACKGROUND Placenta percreta is a very rare, but extremely life-threatening obstetrical pathology for the mother and the child, especially in the cases when it is not diagnosed before the birth and when it results in massive bleeding and a dramatic deterioration of condition. It is extremely important to diagnose this pathology as early as possible and plan further optimal care of patients in o...

OBJECTIVE To examine maternal morbidity in primary surgical management of placenta accreta. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Quaternary perinatal referral center in Melbourne, Australia. POPULATION Clinically suspected and histologically confirmed cases of placenta accreta, increta and percreta. METHODS Women were identified from our hospital database coded for placenta accreta...
